Taylor

Taylor is an occupational surname derived from the Old French 'tailleur' (to cut), referring to someone who made clothes. It became one of the defining unisex names of the 1990s, especially in the United States. Its popularity was spurred by a shift toward using surnames as given names, and it has since become a modern classic for both genders.
